10.6.3 and yes I have Tcl and Tk in /Library/Frameworks. How do I determine which versions they are?

You can use "info patchlevel" in tclsh - assuming you're running a tclsh linked to your /Library version (a normal Tcl install puts this in /usr/local/bin I think).

Or, tcl.h (in the Headers folder beneath the framework install) has TCL_VERSION and TCL_PATCH_LEVEL defines near the top of the file.

Given that your error is a failure to build and not a skip, it sounds like setup is finding Tcl/Tk. From a quick glance, it looks like tkinter may also require the X11 headers (you'd have to have installed X11 separately) - do you have output in your log from what exactly is failing when that module attempts to build?
